Team Czechia has revealed the first six players who will be on their roster for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, and Boston Bruins forwards David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha have made the cut.
In addition to Pastrnak and Zacha, Martin Necas (Colorado Avalanche), Radko Gudas (Anaheim Ducks), Lukas Dostal (Ducks), and Ondrej Palat (New Jersey Devils) have been named to Czechia's Olympic roster.
Pastrnak, 29, is one of the game's best forwards, so there was never any question that he would make Team Czechia's Olympic roster. In 82 games this season for the Bruins, he recorded 43 goals, 63 assists, and 106 points. This was the third season in a row that Pastrnak scored at least 40 goals and hit the 100-point mark.
Zacha, 28, is a solid top-six forward who has great chemistry with Pastrnak, so it is not surprising that he has made Czechia's roster, too. In 82 games this season with the Bruins, he recorded 14 goals and 47 points.
